Police have arrested a suspect in a larceny from a downtown Holland business over the weekend, according to police.

Spencer Davis was arraigned Monday afternoon in the Holland District Court on one count of felony larceny in a building and bond was set at $5,000.

He is accused of entering the Shaker Messenger, 210 S. River Ave., Sunday afternoon and taking cash from the register while the clerk was busy, then fleeing on foot southbound from Ninth Street and River Avenue.

Davis, 25, of Holland, was arrested late Sunday at his residence, according to a news release issued by the Holland Department of Public Safety.

The unspecified amount of cash that was taken was not found, but officials believe the money was given to another person, said Holland Department of Public Safety Capt. Jack Dykstra.

Authorities suspected Davis based on the description of the suspect, Dykstra said. A subsequent photo lineup was conducted and witnesses were able to make a positive identification.

The crime is not a common one in Holland, but the risks increase for merchants and vendors as heavy crowds fill town during Tulip Time, Dykstra said.

“The reminder to merchants and vendors is — Evaluate security processes and procedures and limit your vulnerability to theft as much as possible,” he said.
